Excerpt characterizing Tsakiagine Elbegdorzh
The next day, on the advice of Maryia Dmitrievna, Count Ilya Andreich went with Natasha to the prince Nikolay Andreich. The count with an unemployed spirit was going to this visit: he was scared in his soul. The last date during the militia, when the graph in response to his invitation to the dinner listened to the hot reprimand for lacking people, was memorable Count Ilya Andreich. Natasha, dressed in his best dress, was opposite in the very cheerful arrangement of the Spirit. "It can not be that they do not love me, she thought: I was always loved. And I'm so ready to make everything they wish for them, so ready to love him - for the fact that he is a father, and her for the fact that she is a sister that they don't love me! "They drove up to the old, gloomy house on an exaglerant and entered the Seni.
- Well, God bless, "said the count, the semi is joking, semi seriously; But Natasha noticed that her father was hurried, entering the front, and timidly, quietly asked if the prince and princess houses. After the report on their arrival between the prince's servant, confusion occurred. Lacey, who spoiled to report about them, was stopped by another lacquer in the hall and they whisper about something. The maid girl ran into the hall, and hurriedly also said something, mentioning about the princes. Finally, one old one, with an angry view, Lackey came out and reported to Rostov, that the prince could not accept, and Princess asks for himself. The first to meet the guests went to M Lle Bourienne. She met the father with his daughter especially courtesy and spent them to Princess. Princess with excited, frightened and covered with red spots face ran, heavily stepping, towards guests, and in vain trying to seem free and welcoming. Natasha at first glance did not like the princess Marya. She seemed to her too elegant, frivolously cheerful and vain. Princess Marya did not know that before she saw her future daughter-in-law, she was already badly located to her by the involuntary envy to her beauty, youth and happiness and jealousy to love her brother. In addition to the insurmountable sense of the antipathy to her, the princess of Marya was excited about this minute because, with a report on the arrival of Rostov, the prince shouted that he did not need them that let the Princess Mary accepts, if he wants, and so that they were not allowed to him . Princess Marya decided to take growth, but he was afraid of every minute, no matter how the prince did some kind of leaving, as he seemed very excited about the arrival of growth.
"Well, I, I, princess, honey, brought my singer," said the count, rummaging and restlessly looking around, as if he was afraid if the old prince would not go. "Well, as I am glad that you met ... sorry, it's a pity that the prince is all unhealthy," and saying a few more common phrases he got up. - If you let, princess, on a quarter of the hour you will estimate my Natasha, I would go, there are two steps, on the dog's playground, to Anna Semenovna, and I will come after her.
Ilya Andreich came up with this diplomatic cunning in order to give a scope of the future slander to explain with his daughter-in-law (as he said it after her daughter) and even in order to avoid the possibility of a meeting with the prince he was afraid. He did not say this daughter, but Natasha understood this fear and anxiety of his father and felt offended. She blushed for his father, even more angry for blushing and a bold, causing a look, who was not afraid of the fact that she was not afraid of, looked at the princess. Princess told Count, which is very glad and asks him only to stay a little longer at Anna Semenovna, and Ilya Andreich left.
M Lle Bourienne, despite the restless, the views of the princesses of Mary, who wanted to talk to her eye with Natasha, did not leave the room and kept a firm conversation about Moscow pleasures and theaters. Natasha was insulted by confusion, which happened in the front, concern of his father and the unnatural tone of the princes, which - she seemed to her - made mercy, taking her. And then it was all unpleasant. Princess Mary she did not like. She seemed to her very badly, feigned and dry. Natasha suddenly morally rushed and accepted the involuntarily such a negligent tone, who even more repelled the princess to Mary. After five minutes of heavy, pretended conversation, the approaching quick steps were heard in shoes. The face of Princess Marya expressed their fright, the door of the room opened and entered the prince in a white cap and a coat.
"Oh, madam," he spoke, - madam, countess ... Countess Rostov, if I'm not mistaken ... I apologize, excuse ... I did not know, madam. He sees God did not know that you were honored with our visit, I went to my daughter in such a suit. I apologize ... He sees God did not know, he repeated so not naturally, hitting the word God and so unpleasant that the princess was standing, having dropped her eyes, not daring to look at her father or Natasha. Natasha, stuck and cropped, also did not know what to do. One M Lle Bourienne pleasantly smiled.
- I apologize, please excuse! He sees God did not know, "the old man muttered and, having examined the head to the legs of Natasha, came out. M Lle Bourienne was found after this appearance and began a conversation about the prince's unhealthy. Natasha and Princess Marya silently looked at each other, and the longer they silently looked at each other, without expressing what they needed to express, the unfavorable they thought about each other.
When the count returned, Natasha was unacceptably delighted to him and hurried to leave: she almost hated this age this old Dry Princess, which could put it in such an awkward position and spend half an hour with her, saying nothing about Prince Andrei. "After all, I could not start the first to talk about him at this Frenchwoman," Natasha thought. Princess Marry Meanwhile tormented by the same. She knew that she had to say Natasha, but she could not do this and because M Lle Bourienne prevented her, and because she herself did not know why she was so hard to start talking about this marriage. When the Count came out of the room, Princess Marya went up to Natasha quick steps, took her hands and, sighing heavily, said: "Wait, I need ..." Natasha mockingly, not knowing what he watched the princess.
"Mute Natalie," said Princess Marya, "Know that I am glad that the brother found happiness ..." She stopped, feeling that she was telling a lie. " Natasha noticed this stop and guess the reason for her.
"I think the princess that now it's inconvenient to talk about it," Natasha said with external advantages and coldness and with tears that she felt in her throat.
"What I said I did!" She thought, as soon as he left the room.
Long waited for this day Natasha for dinner. She was sitting in her room and sobbed, like a child, shrinking and sobbing. Sonya stood over her and kissed her into her hair.
- Natasha, what are you talking about? She said. - What is your work to them? Everything will pass, Natasha.
- No, if you knew you, as it's a shame ... Exactly I ...
- Do not say, Natasha, because you are not guilty, so what is your business? Kiss me, - Sonya said.
Natasha raised his head, and kissing his girlfriend on his lips, pressed her wet face to her.
- I can't say, I do not know. Nobody is to blame, - Natasha said, - I am guilty. But all this hurts terrible. Oh, that he does not go! ...
She with red eyes came to dinner. Marya Dmitrievna, who knew how the prince took Rostov, pretended to do not notice the frustrated face of Natasha and firmly and loudly joking at the table with the graph and other guests.
On this evening, Rostov went to the opera, to which Marya Dmitrievna took the ticket.
Natasha did not want to go, but it was impossible to abandon the gentleness of Mary Dmitrievna, exclusively for her intended. When she, dressed, went out into the hall, waiting for his father and loypped into a big mirror, saw that she was good, very good, she was even more sad; But sad and lovingly sweet.
"My God, if he was here; then I would not since before, with some kind of stupid timidity before something, but in a new one, just hugged him, I would have pressed against him, I would force him to look at me by the distorting, curious eyes that he so often looked at And then I would make him laugh as he laughed then, and his eyes - how I see these eyes! Thought Natasha. - And what does it work to his father and sisters: I love him one, his, it, with this face and eyes, with his smile, male and together for children ... no, it is better not to think about him, not to think, forget, quite Forget for this time. I will not carry this expectation, I am now buried, "and she moved away from the mirror, making an effort on himself, so as not to cry. "And how can Sonya can so smoothly, so calmly love Nikolinka, and wait for so long and patiently"! " She thought, looking at the part, too, dressed, with a fan in his hands Sonya.
"No, she is completely different. I can not"!
Natasha felt at this moment such a softened and blended, that she had little to love and know that she was loved: she needs now, now it was necessary to hug a loved one and talk and hear from him the words of love that was full of her heart. While she was driving in a carriage, sitting next to his father, and thoughtfully looked at the lights flashed in frowning window, she felt still in love and sadder and forgot with whom and where she rides. Having hit in a variepete of a carriage, slowly squealed with wheels in the snow wagon rosy drove to the theater. Natasha and Sonya hurriedly jumped, picking up dresses; A graph, supported by the lacquers, and between the necessary ladies and men and the selling posters, all three went to the Benoire corridor. Because of the pretensed doors, music sounds have already been heard.
- Nathalie, Vos Cheveux, [Natalie, Your Hair,] - Sonya whispered. Kapeldiner courtesy and hastily slipped before the ladies and opened the door of the lodge. The music brighter has become audible in the door, shone the illuminated rows of lies with naked shoulders and hands of the ladies, and noisy and brilliant marundirs parquet. The lady, which was part of the neighboring Benoire, looked at Natasha in a female, envious look. The curtain has not yet risen and played an overture. Natasha, the recovery dress, went along with Sonya and sat down, looking around the illuminated rows of anti-fallen lies. For a long time, the feeling of the fact that hundreds of eyes look at her naked hands and neck, suddenly and pleasantly and unpleasantly embraced it, causing a whole swarm of the corresponding feeling of memories, desires and excitement.
Two wonderful pretty girls, Natasha and Sonya, with the Count Ilya Andreich, who has not seen for a long time in Moscow, have drew general attention. In addition, everyone knew vaguely about the collusion of Natasha with Prince Andrey, they knew that since then Rostov was lived in the village, and with curiosity they looked at the bride of one of the best grooms of Russia.
Natasha looked in the village, as she was told, and this evening, thanks to his excited state, was especially good. She struck the completeness of life and beauty, in conjunction with indifference to the whole surrounding. Her black eyes looked at the crowd, not looking for anyone, and a thin, nude elbow hand, bugged on the velvet ramp, obviously unconsciously, in the tact of an overwhelming, shrinking and squeezed, rushing poster.
- Look, here is Alenina - Sonya said, - it seems from the mother!
- Batyushki! Mikhail Kirilych then I would have grown out, "said the old graph.
- See! Anna Mikhailovna Ours in the current what!
- Karagina, Juli and Boris with them. Now you can see the groom with the bride. - Drubetskaya made an offer!
"How, now I learned," said Shinshin, which was part of the Lyubovoy.
Natasha looked by the direction of which the Father watched, and saw, Julie, who with pearls on the thick red neck (Natasha knew, sprung on a powder) sat with a happy view, next to his mother.
Behind them with a smile, tilted by the ear to the mouth of Jules, visited the smoothly combed, beautiful Boris's head. He looked at the growth and smiling told something to his bride.
"They talk about us, about me with him!" Thought Natasha. "And he truly calms the jealousy to me his bride: in vain worry! If they knew how I could not do any of them. "
Rear sat in a green current, with the devotee of God and a happy, festive face, Anna Mikhailovna. In the bed, they stood the atmosphere - the groom with the bride, which was so he knew and loved Natasha. She turned away and suddenly everything that was humiliating in her morning visit, remembered her.
"What right does he not want to take me into his relationship? Oh better not to think about it, do not think before his arrival! " She said she and began to look back familiar and unfamiliar faces in the parter. Ahead of the parquer, in the middle of the middle, closing his back to the Ramp, stood all the way with a huge, upward wrapped curly hair, in a Persian costume. He stood in relevant theater, knowing that he draws attention to all the halls, as well as he was standing in his room. Near him, the most brilliant youth of Moscow was stood, and he apparently first marked between them.
Count Ilya Andreich, laughing, pushed the blushing Sonya, pointing to her on the former admirers.
- I learned? - he asked. "And where he came from," said Count to Chinchin, "after all, he disappeared somewhere?
- disappeared, - answered Shinshin. - It was in the Caucasus, and there he fled, and they say, some kind of provincial prince was the minister in Persia, killed her brother Shakhov: Well, Moscow Barsni is crazy! Dolochoff Le Persan, [Persian Nolochov,] and even over. We now have no word without Dolokhov: they swear, he is called on him as a sterling, "said Shinshin. "Doolokh, yes Kuragin Anatol - we all have a lady crazy."
The neighboring Benoop entered a high, beautiful lady with a huge oblique and very shaggy, white, full shoulders and neck, on which there was a double thread of big pearls, and a long sacing, noise with her thick silk dress.
Natasha involuntarily peered into this neck, shoulders, pearls, hairstyle and admired the beauty of the shoulders and pearls. While Natasha was peeled into her for the second time, the lady looked around and, having met with his eyes with the Count Ilya Andreich, nodded his head and smiled. It was the Countess of Bezuhova, the wife of Pierre. Ilya Andreich, who knew everyone in the world, having frowning, spoke to her.
- How long have you greeted, Countess? He spoke. - I will come, I will come, the handle is a kiss. And I came on the affairs and girls with you brought. Unfortunately, they say, Semenova plays, "said Ilya Andreich. - Count Peter Kirillovich never forgot us. He's here?
"Yes, he wanted to go," said Helen and looked attentively at Natasha.
Count Ilya Andreich sat down again in his place.
- After all, good? - He told Natasha's shopot.
- Miracle! - Natasha said, - You can fall in love! At this time, the last chords of the overture were sounded and the kappelmister wand. In the parquet, the launched men were held and the curtain rose.
As soon as the curtain rose, in the lips and parter, everything was swallowed, and all men, old and young, in uniforms and trees, all women in precious stones on a naked body, with greedy curiosity they rushed all attention to the scene. Natasha also began to watch.
On the stage were smooth boards in the middle, with sides stood painted paintings, portraying trees, behind the cloth were stretched out on the boards. In the middle of the scene, the girls were sitting in red corsages and white skirts. One, very thick, in a silk white dress, was sitting especially on a low bench, to which the green cardboard was glued. They all sang something. When they ended their song, the girl in White approached the souflore booth, and a man approached the silk, tightly, pantalons on thick legs, with a pen and a dagger and began to sing and breed.
The man in the covered pantals was gone alone, then she dare. Then both fell swarsen, the music began to play, and the man began to sort out his fingers the girl's hand in a white dress, obviously waiting again to start his party with her. They died together, and everyone in the theater began to clap and scream, and a man and a woman on stage, who portrayed lovers, became, smiling and spreading with their arms, bow.

In June 1990, the first democratic elections to the Parliament of Mongolia were held - the Great People's Holy Parliament, "according to the results of which Elbegdorg became a deputy. At the same time, the MNRP remained in power, as only 10 percent of voters supported the Democrats. According to the results of the elections to the Great State Huhural in 1992, after the new Constitution of the country was adopted, the democrats were again defeated (although Elbegdorg himself became a member of the parliament), and the MNRP received 70 out of 76 deputy mandates.
It is known that Elbegdorg remained before 1994, after which two years worked as an expert in the Council of National Security.
In 1996, Elbegdorg was again elected a member of the Parliament. This time the victory for the first time defeated Democrats. Of the 76 seats in Veliky State Hural 35, they went to the Mongolian Democratic Union, and 15 were their partners in the Democratic Union coalition. Thus, the Democrats turned out to be 50 deputy mandates - one less than was required to obtain a qualified majority (two thirds of the total composition) necessary for the adoption of laws.
Elbegdorj called the most likely candidate for the post of Prime Minister Mongolia. As a result, this position got Mainsaihan Anchsaykhan, and Elbegdorzh became the vice speaker of the great state hural of the second convocation and the leader of the parliamentary majority, being at the head of the democratic faction. At the same time, in 1996, Elbugdorg became Chairman of the Mongolian National Democratic Party (MNDP). In the same period, he was mentioned in the media as chairman of the State Commission on the rehabilitation of victims of political repression.
In April 1998, after the faction headed by the leader, the faction initiated the resignation of the Government of Anchsaykhan, Elbegdorzh himself got up at the head of the Government of Mongolia. True, after three months, the party colleagues also achieved his displacement from this post. At the same time, Elbegdorzh, who was acting prime minister, led the Cabinet of Ministers until December 1998, when Democrats elected a new head of government. For four years of stay in power, the Democrats managed to appoint five Mongolia Prime Ministers.
After the resignation of Elbegdorzh, until the expiration of the term of office of the Great State Huurala, the second convocation was the leader of the parliamentary majority. In April 1999, the leadership of MNDP "there was a complete replacement": Elbugdorg left the post of leader of the party, the current head of the Government of Jeanlan Naranzatskolt was elected. In 2000, the Democrats were defeated - the victory in the next elections won the MNRP, and Elbegdorzh was not elected a member of the great state hural of the third convocation.
After the defeat in the election Elbegdorg went to the USA. In 2001, he graduated from the Institute of Economics of the University of Colorado, and in 2002 - the School of Public Administration named after John Kennedy at Harvard University, having received a Master of State Department. In 2002-2003, Elbegdorzh worked in the United Nations Development Tasks and was a consultant in the Washington's Free Press Project Guideline.
Elbegdorzh returned to Mongolia in 2004, on the eve of parliamentary elections, but did not put forward his candidacy. According to the results of the vote, none of the parties received most of the votes: MNRP got 37 seats, and the coalitions "Motherland - Democracy" - 35, three more deputy mandates went to independent candidates, and one - representative of the Republican Party. The main political opponents were forced to conclude an agreement, according to which the post of Speaker of Parliament got a member of the MNRP Nambaryna Enchbayar, and the Prime Minister decided to approve the famous politician Elbegdorj.
The second time Elbagdorzh was led by the Government of Mongolia from August 2004 to January 2006. He was dismissed on the initiative of the MNRP, which was able to get the majority in parliament after a fraction joined one of the deputies-Democrats. Elbugdorg insisted that the government was dismissed wrongfully, and his supporters staged a massive manifestation, which ended with the storm of the MNRP building. According to some experts, the reason for the resignation of the government was the growing authority of the Prime Minister. Elbegdorg then stated: "We go away, but we will return. Return, bringing their rows."
In March 2006, Elbegdorg was elected Chairman of the Democratic Party of Mongolia, established in December 2000 as a result of the merger of the Ministry of Actural Sciences and the Mongolian Social Democratic Party. He participated in preparations for the 2008 parliamentary elections: the strengthening of internal reader in primary, urban and aimary organizations, party will annudit and accept new members.
In the summer of 2006, Elbegdorzh was called experts and sources in diplomatic circles with one of the possible candidates for the post of Secretary General of the UN, instead of the retired Kofi Annan. However, this position in the end went to South Korean diplomat Ban Ki-moon.
At the end of June 2008, regular parliamentary elections took place in Mongolia. It was announced that the victory on them won the MHRP, receiving more than half of the places (48) in the Great State Hural, while the Democrats received only 25 seats. After the announcement of the results, Elbegdorzh declared disagreement with the results of elections, calling them falsified. In the Ulan Bator began to be exciteed (later these events in the press were called "Revolution Yurt"). After open consultations with the representatives of the authorities, the Mongolia, and all opposition parties, the President of Mongolia Anchbayar on the night of July 2 announced a state of emergency for a period of four days, on the night of July 5 to July 6, the emergency regime was removed. Enchbayar promised to deal with the facts of violations in the elections. Subsequently, the Mongolian authorities agreed not only to consider the facts of violations during parliamentary elections, but also partially revise the results of the voting. However, for the Democratic Party, the results remained unchanged - it lost the election. After the party defeat in August 2008, Elbugdorg resigned from the post of leader of the party (in September, the Democratic Party was headed by Norovyn Altanthag).
In April 2009, the National Advisory Committee of the Democratic Party nominated Elbegrja a candidate for the election of the President of Mongolia. In May of the same year, elections were held in the country. Even before the announcement of their official results, the Democrats of Mongolia announced the victory of Elbugzhorzha, and his opponent Anchbayar, whose candidacy was put forward by the MNRP, recognized his defeat
